When it comes to casseroles, you can trust that every Southerner has a recipe or two up his or her sleeve to bring to any type of event. From a family reunion to a church potluck, we will always show up with a favorite dish. However, figuring out what to carry our prized casseroles in can be a bit of a challenge. Yes, we have the dish that we baked our precious side in and its matching lid, but that glass or ceramic dish does not hold its heat or stay cool, making our famous mac and cheese a cold brick instead of a ready-to-serve masterpiece. We’ve got the solution: casserole carriers.
